CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, nurses, radiological oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gynecological cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Assess available clinical trial data with and approved indications for FDA-endorsed PARP inhibitors for newly diagnosed and recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) in order to optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
    • Appreciate the biological rationale for and published and emerging clinical research with PARP inhibitors in combination with other systemic therapies, and consider the current and potential clinical implications of these findings for OC management.
    • Review the benefits observed with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for advanced microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient endometrial cancer (EC), and integrate these agents into the care of appropriate patients.
    • Consider the biological rationale for and available data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy or agents targeting the VEGF pathway, and select patients with advanced EC for treatment with these novel approaches.
    • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1 antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy for metastatic cervical cancer (CC), and consider the current and future roles of immune checkpoint inhibition in this disease.
    • Recognize the incidence of tissue factor expression in patients with CC, and evaluate the current and future roles of novel agents designed to exploit this therapeutic target.
    • Reflect on investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for OC, EC and CC, and where applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
